A technical error in the flight control system has caused the US aviation disaster. All domestic flights across the US were grounded for several hours. As a result, more than 5,800 flights were delayed till Wednesday morning. More than eight hundred flights were cancelled.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States' civil aviation regulator, said that due to a malfunction in the flight control system, pilots were receiving messages that there was a risk of danger along the flight route. The source of the problem was the notice they sent to the Air Mission System. From Denver to Atlanta to New York City, all airports in the United States were disrupted. This increases the number of passengers at the airports. Passengers started posting on social media about the flight delay.
After solving the problem, the flight resumed at 9 am. The FAA said that the flight situation is gradually normalizing. A statement from the agency said that the order to suspend flight operations has been withdrawn. The cause of the problem is being investigated.
US President Joe Biden has been informed about the incident. White High said there was no evidence of a cyber attack. Biden told reporters, 'Hopefully, the FAA will find out within a few hours what caused this to happen. We will then take action accordingly.'
In a tweet, the White House press secretary said the president had ordered a "full investigation" into the incident.
